From 1966: Hair-Hoppin' Glamour!
1966
Let me tell you, it takes a lot of effort and dedication to get a hairdo this high. If that isn't the very epitome of La Glamour, I don't know what is.
Found on what is turning out to be an absolute treasure trove for my beloved Found Photos, Pinterest.

Found Photos: Prom Glamour!
Hopeful pastel-colored tissue-paper blooms, the lovely smile of a young lady wearing what I suspect is the product of many hours of labor by her mother at a sewing machine and a Simplicity pattern (or perhaps she made it All By Herself in her Home Ec class), the proud yet slightly sheepish smile of a tall young man who is thrilled to be the young lady's escort (so you can forgive his predilection for plaid)...it's photos like these that keep me blogging here.

Random Kitties: Christmas 1970
"Joanie, you look so pretty in that Nehru jacket! Go pose with Mr. Whiskers by the tree."
I am a big fan of "found photos."
You've heard of this, right? People go to flea markets and garage sales and buy up old unwanted photographs for their own use and enjoyment.
At first, I thought this was the saddest pursuit I had ever come across. Then I changed my mind. Photos don't have to lose their purpose when they become orphaned; no, instead photos and their subjects find new lives, new appreciation, and no one is forgotten.
After all, what is a photograph? I am a person. I walked on this planet. I had a life, and someone thought to document a moment of that life, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. I was here.
Now I myself am an avid collector. And the Internet, Pinterest especially, is a fountain of such photos. My favorites involve people posing with their pets. Since I am a much-abused human belonging to a cat, I like photos with kitties the best...so much so, "Random Kitties" is a new category here on this blog.
